Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 That reminds me of riding horses, last year, way out in our woods and hearing a bullet whistle past our heads. We never saw anyone. It was very scary. We started talking loudly, so they would know we were there and not a deer. We waited until after hunting season(2 1/2 months here), because the nuts are out in excess this time of year and they seems to target anything that moves. One's life is definitely in danger, in the woods, during hunting season. Judy - jandor9 Monday, September 18, 2006 7:43 AM Re: hunting season My father only brought home a deer once in all the time I can remember. He was raised in upstate NY and used to hunt all the time. He was an extremely good shot, and enjoyed shooting. After the reception that deer got from us he stopped hunting. And we all ate meat at that point too. We explained to him that there was no reason on earth for him to go out and hunt animals for dinner. It was murder not a sport. It showed no skill to sit in a blind and shoot a deer 50 feet away with a rifle that could knock down a bull elephant. And he realized running around in the woods with a bunch of hungover morons was as likely to get him killed as any deer. I think the drunks with guns scared him off more than anything. Since he is a meat eater we took that route to get him to stop. It worked, he only did target shooting after that.

Every year he'd kill as many deer as he was allowed to in addition to many, many doves and quail and God knows what else. I was raised to think that was okay. My parents even used my love of animals against me saying hunting was good for the animals, to keep their populations down so they wouldn't starve! At twelve years old I became a vegetarian. I had no support but I still did it. And that was even without grandparents to show me the way. Keep on them. Hopefully they'll realize what a horrible thing hunting is. > > Kadee Sedtal > > > > All-new Mail - Fire up a more powerful email and get things done faster. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think we should have a say in who our children choose as life partners. :-) TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought that scene with the deer was so amazing. I think every hunter should experience that. TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I remember the movie but not a hunting scene. Can you tell us about it?? A hunter had shot a deer and Powder took the hunter's hand a held it on the deer's body while it was dying. He felt everything that the deer felt. If I remember correctly, he gave up hunting.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 LOL, we were reading worship tonight and one of the things was about taking your parent's advise about marriage, like not doing it if they feel it is the wrong person for you or you're to young etc... Now sometimes parents won't make the right choice for you, because you are a different person than they are, but it is still wise to seek their approval, especially if they believe in a higher power above. I made sure my girls were listening...... now if they just remember and take this wise counsel, is what we pray for........ : ))) Judy - TendrMoon >.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 You're right............ Judy LOL, I am a few days behind, our computer crashed and hubby finally got new stuff today. I am not going to agree with parents *choosing* your spouse, but see my mother pretty much hates my husband, and has told him that she could take me away from him. So there are times when parents are not doing the best for their children, but what they want. It is sad, but there are parents out there like that.
